 * Any justifications??? For example citations from reliable sources? Vlad fedorov 03:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Rebellions in Russia is not applicable, as it was not a rebellion and it did not happen in Russia. Category:Massacres in the Soviet Union is warranted, because it was an archetypal massacre. Whoever wrote about Red Army in 1962, should read a couple of books about Soviet history in order to understand what is Red Army and when the term was in use. --Ghirla-трёп- 16:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Internal Troops ?
Term "KGB" (besides "Red Army") seems questionable. Suppressing internal riots or revolts and "maintaining domestic order" was the job of Ministry of the Interior´s (MWDs) Internal Troops, wasn't it ? --129.187.244.28 (talk) 11:28, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Riots
I have a serious problem with the title being "Novocherkassk riots" because right away the impression is given of maniacs out of control and any government response, even if it cost lives, being completely justified. I have a feeling that's exactly why someone changed the title from "Novocherkassk massacre" to what we have now. The most important aspect of this event is the violent loss of life, and it wasn't the "rioters" doing the killing, but the security forces of the Soviet government. Therefore it would seem that the former title is far more appropriate (plus doing a Google search on both, "massacre" gets more hits than "riots"). I'm reverting it back.--C.J.

Strange mathematical concept
"and approximately hundreds of others" What does that mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsipouro-Sipper (talk • contribs) 10:16, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
